Currently the highest selling DK release is the original Donkey Kong Country on SNES at 9.3 million; this looks like it has the potential to top that and set a new sales record for the series, the same way that BOTW and Mario Odyssey did for Zelda/Mario.

Yeah but it's kind of unfair to compare 2D and 3D. And it's especially unfair to judge raw numbers due to install base difference. A better metric would be tie-in ratios.

BotW & SMOdyssey smashed their respective series records when NSW still had a rather small install-base. It’s not the “smoking gun” that you think it is to say, “Well, NSW has sold 150mil.”
